Sh*t My Husband Says (About Charming)

[Ophelia Dippet]

Jack walks up and looks at my photoshop screen.
Jack: Who's that?
Lynn: Someone new.
Jack: No.
Lynn: What?
Jack: It's too soon.
Lynn: ...
Jack: You made your last guy last week.
Lynn: ... I'm not making this one until December.
Jack: ...
Lynn: ...
Jack: *eyebrow raise*
Lynn: Look, you can't stop me.

The next day:
Jack: You must have started working on that new thing.
Lynn: Yeah. How'd you tell?
Jack: The look on your face. It's a New-Charming-thing look.
Lynn: ...? What does it look like?
Jack: It's... the expression you see in movies when a teen girl is texting a guy and they want the audience to know she really likes him. Like a cross between dreamy and infatuated. That's you with Charming.

(in the middle of a very lengthy explanation of the upcoming move, what it's going to mean for my characters, my #plans, the survey, my opinions, a lot of exposition about the current rules and regulations on Charming, etc, etc, etc...)

Jack: So I'm guessing the staff have two different inboxes set up right now. One is for feedback from the survey about the move. The other one is for Lynn's feedback from the survey about the move.

(When I say lengthy I mean I literally talked about this through the entirety of dinner)

Not necessarily Charming, but Harry Potter related from my dad when we were discussing how my puppy is turning nine years old on the 27th.

Dad: Would you rather have this mutt or a lifetime pass to Hobbit's world?
Me: ???
Dad: Oh, you know, Henry's. Prince Henry's world.
Me:
Mom: *looks at me weird*
Me: OH. You mean "Harry Potter World" *tear-inducing laughter ensues*
Dad: Oh same thing.
Me: Ah yes, off to Prince Henry's world *runs back to my room*

These happened ages ago but the ramifications still occur so I figured I'd share:

Basically I'm just browsing some threads were I've posted in and my boyfriend notices Augusts sig at the time:



Him: "What kind of face is that???"
Me: "What are you talking about? He's winking!"
Him: "No, no, no. This *winks*  is winking. That's... I don't even know! *proceeds to make the most distorted serial killer mashup of a grin and wink*
Me: "Are you stupid??? THAT IS TOTALLY WINKING!!!"
Him: *calls our roommate into the room to look at the picture* "Look at her characters face! Doesn't it look like this???" *makes the crazed face again*
Roommate: *laughs* "Oh my god yes!" *proceeds to mimic my boyfriends crazed expression*
*both turn to me and hold this face for minutes straight before I get annoyed and start ignoring them* >.>

TO THIS DAY THEY WILL STILL MAKE THAT EXPRESSION AT ME IF THEY SEE ME ON CHARMING. "Oh look! I'm AUGUST!" *flash distorted ugly expression at me*

Also, I once mentioned that the site allows mature threads and even though I have never wrote one my roommate will proudly, and quite loudly, refer to Charming as my "Harry Potter adult fanfiction site." He will do this even when we're in public... >.>

I started my new job today as an intake tech for a humane society. One of the job reqs is assigning kennel names to the incoming pets who are strays or whose owners gave them offensive / unpronounceable / extremely common names. You're supposed to pick something unique so you don't end up with two pets in the shelter with the same name.

Jack: For like... the next fourteen animals you should just use your characters' names.
Lynn: I'm not sure they'd all work.
Jack: Go for "Tiberius the Chihuahua"

Related: my cousins used to have a guinea pig named Tiberius.

I thought of Tib every single time.

(explaining my recent coding woes to Jack):

Lynn: So I had a code that worked on our current board. And then I edited the code document to work on the new board, but I should have made a new one and I didn't so it broke the stuff on the old board. So then I had to go fix that, but now it's broken and I didn't change anything that should have broken it so I don't know what's going on.
Jack: You know what this sounds like?
Lynn: What?
Jack: One of those movie premises where they find a cure for a disease and then find out after they've dispensed it to everyone that the cure turns people into zombies.
Lynn: ???
Jack: "It's all just spiraling out of control! And we were just trying to make it better!"
